DocMan - Document Manager

DocMan is a simple text based document manager.
It currently has zero dependencies on other packages.

Be aware

If you think this is a normal file manager you will be disappointed. It is designed as a recursive document manager based on files and links. It provides the appearance of a hierarchy while having a shallow directory tree. This is so that multiple associations can easily be created to the same folder.

A database contains folders and files. A folder can contain references to other folders. A folder can contain files.

All folders are stored in the Database/ directory on the file system as a directory per folder. All references to folders are created as symbolic links in the directory. All files in the folder are stored in the directory for the folder.

A database does not support creating references to files.
